Modelling simply supported beam with teddy

hey

Currently, I’m struggling as I don’t know how I can model a simply supported beam with teddy.
I can do it by using sofimsha but not by sofimshc?

Could you help me what I’m doing wrong? Also what is in fact the difference between sofimsha and sofimshc?

teddy code

// Calculation of a simply supported reinforced concrete beam

+prog aqua urs:1
head
//Define the Eurocode:
NORM DC EN NDC 199X-200X

//Define materials
conc no 1 type c fcn 25
stee no 2 type b clas 500B

//Define cross-section: rectangular cross-section
srec no 1 H 1000 B 500 MNO 1 MRF 2

end

+prog sofimshc urs:2
head
//Define coordinate system and model type
syst type 3D GDIR NEGZ

//Define nodes and support conditions
SPT no 1 X 0 Y 0 Z 0 FIX PPMY
SPT no 2 X 0 Y 10 Z 0 FIX YP

sln no 1 NPA 1 NPE 2 sno 1

end

You aren’t instructing sofimshc to mesh:
Add ctrl opt mesh val 1 at the begining of sofimshc

The primary distinction between working with modules SOFIMSHC and SOFIMSHA lies in their operational characteristics. In the SOFIMSHC module, you work primarily with structural elements, creating a ‘wireframe’ for your structure before necessitating its meshing into individual finite elements. This is why the CTRL MESH 1 command was mandatory.

In contrast, when modeling within the SOFIMSHA module, you can specify finite elements directly one-by-one.
